Ask HN: What am I missing by not enabling IPv6 in 2022?
A couple of things to note:
+ I use a laptop for work, some video streaming and very light online gaming.
+ My ISP might or might not support IPv6, but let's assume it does.
- thatha7777 4y agoAbsolutely nothing. + You're in the majority. For example, only ~40% of the global traffic Google receives is over IPv6. + There aren't any generally availably internet services. If you ever find yourself worrying about NATs, reverse NATs, or, generally, exposing things running with a non-internet facing IP addresses to the Internet, it may be time to learn more about IPv6. Until then, for the use-case you've described, you're good.
- stop50 4y agoNot one of the companies i know have an ipv6 only service.
- pm2222 4y agoFor your home there's nothing to lose. IPv4 is just fine. I'd go even further as to apply this to most small and mid-size businesses.
